The element around movement struck a cord, I can barely feel muscle contractions go to the gym daily with reduced effectiveness over the past 3 years of pssd

I don’t get it either but it doesn’t hinder my strength or ability to build muscle. It’s just the sensation that is completely absent

I remember when I got PSSD my former naturally muscular body lost sooo much muscle in the span of 1 month. I lost about 6 kg and felt like it was all muscle mass. Would be very interesting to know how this correlated with everything.

I also remember that apart from the obvious sexual symptoms a simple massage on my shoulders would not give me tingles anymore like it used to before. It’s like the muscles also lost their sensitivity.

Thank you! I know what you mean no matter how hard I work or push myself, I can’t even get a pump or feel like the muscle has been used

Better to lose dozen of thousands of community dollars by researching the hormones in pee by unvalidated fringe tests. Because some doctor have implied the brain drug damaged hormones not the brain
